Detect the OS version, install the latest version if running <8.x and install 2.01.09.004 if >=8.x. I can't find anything in the Porter's Handbook that explicitly says NOT to do this.

The only thing I could think of is the automated ports QA and packaging; however, those are moot because LSI requires pre-download agreement to a license which prohibits redistribution.

That does eliminate a lot of my concern. I didn't really have a
hard-line stance on this. It just struck me as the kind of thing you
want would to do as a last resort only.

Is there any way that libmap.conf can help here?

Sadly no.  Libmap only applies to dynamic-linked binaries.
